Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and sat up straight. His eyes widened and his hand gripped the paper tightly. He picked it up and stared at the pattern on it.

"Has Your Highness thought of something?" Wei Ming detected the change in Mu Ying's expression and immediately asked.

"Is that what she wants to tell me!? "No, that's impossible …" Mu Ying said in a complicated manner.

"If it's really like I've guessed, then wouldn't I become your father?!" Mu Ying thought with complicated feelings.

She turned her head and grabbed Wei Ming's shoulders tightly, wanting to share this exciting news with him.

"What good news has the Madam told me?" Wei Ming was extremely excited to see Mu Ying, and he himself was extremely happy to see Mu Ying.

"I, I want to do it..." Mu Ying was so excited that she couldn't speak anymore. Just as she was about to tell Wei Ming the news, she suddenly became gloomy and her hands drooped down powerlessly, as if they had fallen from the sky to the ground in an instant.

He suddenly thought that this was just his imagination, and that he was only guessing with hope, and he wasn't sure if it was true or not. What if it was something else? Wouldn't it be too early for him to be happy? Before he made up his mind, he decided not to tell anyone else about it.

"Your Royal Highness, you …" Wei Ming did not understand the change in his expression.

"It's nothing," Mu Ying raised his eyebrows and looked at the sun, he stood up and said: "Call everyone to continue." After saying that, he mounted his horse and walked forward alone.

Looking at the sunlight falling from the tree leaves, he suddenly felt a strong sense of loneliness. Waking up in such an afternoon and seeing the person you love not at your side is the easiest to make people feel lonely and confused. Especially after having a sweet dream, it was easy to feel lost.

"I wonder how she is doing now." The wave of longing came surging over, instantly drowning Mu Ying within it. He really missed Xue Moyun.

"Giddy up!" Mu Ying shook his head, with the horse in hand, he quickly dashed forward, and only by running fast enough in the wind would he be able to make the flood of longing be unable to keep up with his footsteps.

Wei Ming and the others followed behind and chased after him.

Mu Lingfeng was painstakingly planning everything out, sending people to assassinate Mu Zhuoshi, at the same time, they were setting up a wave in the capital, preaching that Mu Zhuoshi and the others thought highly of their achievements, being arrogant and despotic, threatening the position of Mu Zheng's emperor, causing Mu Zheng to be suspicious.

On the other side, Zheng Ziyi was also relying on the emperor's care. Whether it was just bragging, speaking ill of Mu Zhuoshi and the others, made the empress and the others extremely dissatisfied. They were scheming to use Xue Shaoli's hand to get rid of Zheng Ziyi, or cause internal strife among them.

Ever since Xue Moyun had closed the door and disappeared, other than giving Mu Lingfeng advice, she had no other uses. This Xue Moyun seemed to be severely ill, so she allowed her to fend for herself. And now, seeing how Zheng Ziyi had helped Mu Lingfeng time and time again, it seemed like she was even more reliant on her, which made a sense of unease rise up in Xue Shaoli's heart.

Especially when Xue Shaoli had personally gone to find Zheng Ziyi a while ago, her attitude made Xue Shaoli even more furious. It was obvious that she did not place Xue Shaoli in her eyes anymore. Furthermore, her goal was obviously to get the position of the future Empress. This was already a great threat to Xue Shaoli. She had a family and background, and now that it was so useful to Mu Lingfeng, he had nothing to contend against.

Especially after Mu Lingfeng came back that day and scolded Xue Shaoli, saying that she should not have gone to find Zheng Ziyi and did not understand the general situation. This made Xue Shaoli feel even more threatened. If this continued, then Mu Lingfeng would pay more attention to Zheng Ziyi, and the hard work he had put in for so many years would all be for naught.

Xue Shaoli was furious and resentful at the same time, and started to think about revenge towards Zheng Ziyi. If she was to be replaced by someone else instead of accompanying Mu Lingfeng in the future, then what meaning would there be for him to help her? Therefore, she would rather Mu Lingfeng lose this important helper of Zheng Ziyi than for her to replace her.

Xue Shaoli began to frequently enter the palace and make use of various opportunities to contact their previous relationship. At this time, Leng Rumei bumped into her. and brought her to the queen.

Speaking of which, Xue Shaoli and the empress were old acquaintances. In the past, when Xue Shaoli and Princess Chang Le had a good relationship and the empress dowager was very fond of him, she would often visit his and become his guest. It was just a change in world affairs, no one could have imagined that the two of them would meet again in such a way.

"Actually, I really doted on you as a child in the past, but afterwards …" The Queen said while choked with sobs. She seemed to be very sympathetic to Xue Shaoli's plight.

"There's no need for the empress to put on such an act. No matter what happened in the past, I'm now the third prince's concubine, and you're the crown prince's man. We're destined to be enemies, and it's impossible for us to walk together."

Xue Shaoli replied quickly. She did not want to say too much about the Queen, but she had arrogantly stated her position. She would definitely support her husband. There was no need for him to put on an act and fawn over the empress anyway.

"Why are you so disrespectful to the Empress?" Leng Rumei was furious, and reprimanded him.

The Queen immediately looked at Leng Rumei to stop him, and then clapped with a face full of smiles, "Alright, alright, I didn't misjudge you. The third imperial concubine and the third prince have a deep bond, and you really aren't someone we can easily get away with."

Hearing the empress's words, Leng Rumei understood immediately, and started laughing afterwards, "That's right, today it seems that the Third Prince and the Third Imperial Concubine share the same heart and virtue, and the relationship between husband and wife is deep. It seems that all the gossip that is going around in the palace is fake."

"Yeah, we actually saw wrongly that night. We were so close to the third prince that day …" It might even be the third imperial concubine. " The empress also spoke seriously.

What? Hearing the Queen say that to Leng Rumei, Xue Shaoli's heart started to hurt. She had this kind of feeling every now and then since she had returned to the capital. Because this was her heartache after Mu Lingfeng went to see Zheng Ziyi.

She had never played with Mu Lingfeng before, and she understood that the two of them only used this as a chance to get to know each other. In the past, she had also thought that Mu Lingfeng was using him as a weapon, as if he was using her. And now, Mu Lingfeng had frequently abandoned him to look for Zheng Ziyi, and Zheng Ziyi had even frankly admitted that he had given birth to Mu Lingfeng's flesh and blood.

Xue Shaoli thought about this and the anger in her heart started to surge. Although she tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, the hurried breathing in her nostrils sold her out, and the empress and the others saw.

Originally, if Mu Lingfeng only wanted the throne so much that he wouldn't fall in love with any woman, then it didn't really matter to his as long as he could stay by his side.

But now, there was a girl that won over her heart that she couldn't even think of. How could she not be jealous and go crazy with resentment?

The Queen and Leng Rumei exchanged glances, and laughed secretly for a while, then slowly said: "Originally I wanted to discuss a matter with you, but seeing you two husband and wife supporting each other, I think we have overthought things. Come, let's go for a walk in the imperial garden."

The Queen stood up as she spoke, as if she didn't want to chat with Xue Shaoli anymore, and prepared to leave.

Leng Rumei tactfully stood up and supported the Queen out.

"Eh, wait a moment." Xue Shaoli hesitated for a moment before standing up, and shouted towards the backs of the empress and the others.

The corner of the empress's lips curled up in a smile. She then calmed down and turned around. "Is there anything else?"

"What did you want to talk to me about just now?" Xue Shaoli asked.

"It doesn't matter." The queen was about to leave again.

"I was too rash just now. Esteemed Empress, please forgive me. If there's anything, please say it." Xue Shaoli changed his arrogant attitude and said humbly.

Seeing Xue Shaoli like that, the Queen slowly turned around and returned to her seat, indicating for the servants to step down and shut the door before speaking.

"That day in the garden, we met the Third Prince and that young woman who were hugging each other tightly in the vicinity of the Purple Jade Palace." That day in the garden, we met the Third Prince and that young woman that was in the vicinity of the Purple Jade Palace. the queen said.

"At that time, what we saw was real, it was the Consort Zheng, but unfortunately, there is no evidence, and she is also favored by the Emperor, so we did not dare to go forward to identify her." Leng Rumei added.

"You two might as well get to the point. There's no need to go through any more reminiscences about what happened before." Xue Shaoli suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke, in his heart she did not want to hear any more about the Third Prince and Zheng Ziyi.

"Alright, then let's not beat around the bush. Since the third imperial concubine is so straightforward, then I'll get straight to the point." The Queen saw that Xue Shaoli completely believed it and was pleasantly surprised.

"Go ahead." Xue Shaoli took a sip and urged them on.

"The struggle between the third prince and the crown prince is unavoidable. We can't argue with that. However, as the saying goes, there are no eternal enemies, nor are there any eternal friends. We are enemies in this matter. But on the other hand, we have a common enemy. " The Queen said leisurely.

"I wonder which one of these things esteemed empress is referring to?" Xue Shaoli pretended not to understand and asked. Afraid that the empress was trying to trick her. Although she hated Zheng Ziyi, she didn't want to implicate him because of this.

Seeing Xue Shaoli being so cautious, the Queen understood that it was impossible to kill two birds with one stone. This Xue Shaoli would definitely not admit to Mu Lingfeng's relationship with him, which meant that using this matter to move to Mu Lingfeng was impossible. Then she would just have to take a step back and deal with Zheng Ziyi first.

"Zheng Ziyi..." The empress said word by word.

"I understand that for whatever reason, this woman must be your enemy. As I said, this matter will definitely not involve the Third Prince or the crown prince, so you can rest assured. " The Queen laughed at Xue Shaoli's worry and said.

Xue Shaoli did not comment and only laughed.
